威斯敏斯特教堂地下室一个墓碑上的墓志铭：
在我年轻的时候， 我曾梦想改变这个世界 可当我成熟以后， 我发现 我不能够改变这个世界， 于是我将目光缩短一些 那就只改变我的国家吧 ， 可当我到了暮年的时候 我发现， 我根本没有能力改变我的国家 于是 ， 我最后的愿望 仅仅是改变我的家庭， 可是这也是不可能的 当我躺在床上行将就木的时候， 我突然意识到 如果当初， 我仅仅是从改变自己开始 也许我就能改变我的家庭 ， 在家人得帮助和鼓励下 也Biblioteka Baidu我就能为我的国家做一点事情， 然后谁知道呢 说不定我能改变整个世界， 所以 对我们每个人来说 ， 最重要的是学习如何改变自己！
When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits, I dreamed of changing the world. As I grew older and wiser, I discovered the world would not change, so I shortened my sights somewhat and decided to change only my country. But it, too, seemed immovable.As I grew into my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt, I settled for changing only my family, those closest to me, but alas, they would have none of it. And now, as I lie on my deathbed, I suddenly realize: If I had only changed myself first, then by example I would have changed my family.From their inspiration and encouragement, I would then have been able to better my country, and who knows, I may have even changed the world.
